In the singles format mega Zard x does much better. While mega Zard y is very good as a special wallbreaker, mega Zard x functions similar but rather a physical wallbreaker.

Tough claws is pretty much boosting the power of contact moves by the same margin as the life orb. That’s huge. If you really wanted to go overboard you can even give it swords dance.

If I were to compare both mega Zard x and y in general,mega Zard y wins (simply because it’s so good in doubles) but in singles purely, mega Zard x is stronger.

Overall mega charizard x suits your team much better in my opinion. I don’t know why you seem to have some sort of preference to mega charizard y but it’s not a huge deal changing for mega charizard x. For one stealth rocks while still an issue isn’t as crippling.
